"A quick online search of Adalina will show you a sea of white tablecloths and a menu full of pasta and veal chop Parmigiana. You won’t realize how fun Adalina is until you’ve spent a few minutes at this upscale Italian restaurant, sitting on crushed velvet chairs and surrounded by flower paintings that would make Georgia O’Keeffe suspicious. The bar is filled with people hanging out two hours before (and after) their reservation time, and the posh dining room gets louder and louder through the course of your meal. People from different tables will inevitably start to mingle with each other, someone might topple over in their heels, and generally things devolve into a good-natured sh*tshow." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
